NAO®Basket

Nucleic Acid Optimizer

The Nucleic Acid Optimizer is a special plastic semi-permeable basket that allows fast and complete recovery of nucleic acids from swab samples, card punches or other specimens into the sample tube. NAO®Basket is designed with a collapsable grid bottom that allows passage of all eluted DNA sample from the collection device (i.e. swab) during the high speed centrifugation step, while guaranteeing the perfect tightness of the system during vortexing.

FORENSIC DNA GRADE

LYSE&CENTRIFUGE IN THE BASKET

innovative product design allows the passage of DNA from samples into the tube using a grid bottom, and tight leak-proof design can endure vortexing, centrifugations and various storage conditions

INCREASED DNA YIELD

particularly when combined with FLOQSwabs®

DECREASED RISK OF SAMPLE CONTAMINATION

significant reduction of manual manipulation of the sample

COMPATIBILITY

NAO®Basket is compatible with commercial Nucleic Extraction Platforms

MAXIMIZE DNA YIELD

Laboratory tests show an increased recovery rate of DNA by processing the sample with NAO®Basket in comparison with standard procedures. The combination of NAO®Basket and FLOQSwabs® provides more than 90% DNA recovery of the reference sample.

Above data show DNA recovery obtained from saliva and blood samples spiked on FLOQSwabs® (FS) and Traditional fiber swabs (TS) and then processed with and without the NAO®Basket (NAO) (Copan internal testing).
